Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws

Not even worth watching out of curiosity. Such an amateurish piece of tripe it doesn't warrant even 69 minutes of your time. Move along.

Love the sheer ridiculocity of this.

With an ice lolly, lube and an iron among the means the supernatural oceangoing maniac accesses their prey (ghost sharks can travel through ice, water and steam much like Ultron can use the internet) you have to admire the creative lunacy with which they approach this.

If Logan really hasn't bathed in 9 years, with that amount of exercising and his penchant for raising one arm to hold his bag behind his shoulder, he must possess either nuclear powered deodorant or incredibly whiffy pits.

Fortunately, this never takes itself seriously and a good job too as it is so patently daft - the deliberately (I hope) overacting of the main characters is entirely justified when you face a menace that can kill you to death through the medium of steam...

And please stop making fun of sharks, please stop making sharks a fun "comedy" subject! Please stop ruining its seriousness and horror facts!

I have seen the 2013 movie "Ghost Shark" and wasn't particularly impressed with it. Little did I know that they actually made a sequel to that movie two years later. Now in 2020 I was presented with the chance to sit down and watch the 2015 "Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws". And since I haven't already seen this, of course I opted to watch it.

Granted, my expectations were slim to none for the movie, as the first movie wasn't all that impressive.

Lo and behold, "Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws" was a horrible movie through and through. The storyline was just atrocious, and felt like something that directors Johnny Hall and Andrew Todd just came up with as they went along and were shooting the movie. It was a super weak plot line, and the characters were just pointless.

And as far as this movie being called "Ghost Shark", well you hardly see the actual ghost shark for a whole minute throughout the entire movie if you count the on-screen-time together. The ghost shark actually felt like it was a mere backdrop to base a pointless storyline upon. And when you actually do get to see the shark, you just gawk at it in disbelieve. It was a still image of a translucent shark. Yeah. It didn't even move, except for some horrible floating around on the screen. The CGI team - if they had one - didn't even bother to animate a shark to make it look just a bit realistic and life-like. No, they just went with a copy and paste solution.

Some of us suffered through the ordeal that is known as "Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws", so you don't have to. And trust me, you don't want to. Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this stinker.

My rating of "Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws" is a staggering one out of ten stars. This is definitely among the top 10 of horrible movies I have had the misfortune of sitting through.

The first Ghost Shark was a low-budget delight that clearly established its rules and stuck to its hilarious and outrageous formula with lousy CGI and acting that just added to the fun. But Ghost Shark 2 ignored everything that made the first movie fun. The idea of bringing ghost sharks to a large urban center was promising, but it failed by rewriting the rules established in the first one and, in fact, didn't connect to the original movie at all. It also felt like it was shot in someone's backyard. Ghost Shark 2 wasn't a low-budget movie; it was a no-budget movie. I highly recommend the first Ghost Shark and highly recommend avoiding the second.
